Hello,
When we bought our house, it came with this stove installed, but we have an incredibly small living room and have 3 kids and 4 dogs and there is just no room for it. Used it some the first couple years but has had a couch jammed up against it for 2-3 years now and it is just in the way. Looking to get rid of the stove(1982 Intrepid) with extra parts and the corner hearth pad(which I see similar ones go for $400+) all in one shot if possible. The stove works well and would keep if I had more room. Could probably use a new seal kit for the doors and some refinishing on the top where the paint is chipped, but all-in-all in great shape. Any ideas as to what I should be asking for the whole setup?(pics attached)
Thanks,
Paul

A late reply...your best best is check listings for "vermont castings" on craigslist or facebook marketplace. From what I've seen, chipped enamel VC stoves are tough sell because they look terrible to buyers. I think I recall seeing one like this listed recently for $300-$400 in New England, but I'd guess it'd sell for around $150-$200. It'd probably help it sell if you cleaned the rusted griddle. Can't really tell, but one of the bars above ash pan looks bent funny...and not sure what that single bracket is on the left. If you want top dollar, it'd pay to clean it up and possibly overspray it in flat black (which may/may not stick long term to the enamel). Price also somewhat dependent on location
